Q: I intend to buy DIR.UN, IIP.UN and CAR.UN. I do not need the income, I would buy them because you have recommended them in the past and I need some diversification into the real estate sector. My question is, given that their distributions can be R of C, foreign income, and other income, are they best purchased in a TFSA or RRSP, rather than in a non-registered account?

Q: These are the property Reits that I have. I am down with Dream. As the economy struggles and the ability to pay rent increases, what is your thought at this time? I could see a sell and reentry later, but perhaps this is a poor move. Appreciate your thoughts....

Q: Which residential reits do you believe have the highest quality tenants? i.e. less likely to defer, default, delay etc. rental payments . Also which reits have the best balance sheets and financial strength? Are any worth investing in at this stage or do we need to see were the dust settles?

Q: Hello Peter and Staff

Today all rental housing stocks I follow (CAR.UN, KMP.UN, IIP.UN and TCN got hammered

I would have thought they would stand up well - rental shortages and future refinancings likely at lower rates ?

Does that logic make sense?

Any reason other than someone starting a rumour about mandated rent holidays?

Thanks and have a great day
Dennis

Q: The REIT sector seems to have been decimated. Residential REIT's which usually hold up better have come down big along with the Industrial REIT's.

Would not be a good time to accumulate some of the residential REIT's in Canada. Why would these companies decline so much ? Are they being priced such that folks will not be able to pay rent forever ?

Q: Could I get your take on REITs at these levels. I thought they would have held up much better in this current meltdown. Are investors just dumping them because they think tenants are going bankrupt and default on their lease agreements? What is your opinion on FCR.UN? or do you prefer HR.UN? Thanks Ron

Q: May I please have your thoughts on IIP.UN in the current environment? It appears to have held up relatively well. As a growth oriented investor I do not have any REIT exposure. However, I have always regretted not establishing a position in InterRent as its performance over the years has been excellent.

Q: Can you comment of Boardwalk’s most recent quarter? I own Boardwalk (10% gain) and Interrent (75% gain). After starting their intention to diversify away from Alberta and Saskatchewan over a year ago, little progress has been achieved by Boardwalk. I’m debating selling Boardwalk and putting the proceeds to work in Interrent on a pullback since I already own a position. Would you be ok with this move? I would maintain the same sector weighting (10%) but it would be all in one stock and some ETFs vs 2 stocks.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi 5iR, InterRent real estate appears to me to be a low profile property owner and developer with about 8000 suite located in Ontario and Quebec. The stock price is currently $17.00 and the company yields a very modest, 1.8%. If I had bought IIP in 2015, when it traded at $5.00 I would now be up 240%. The 5yr graph is any investors dream, slow and steady, constantly moving up with almost zero volatility. I like what I see and read about this company.
What am I missing here??? Thanks Team. Cheers, Chris
